“Gravity defying sleeves” teeter dangerously on the outermost edges of your shoulders, giving you an alluring, flattering, wide V line at the top, emphasizing smallness at the waist.

Bodice is engineered for unstoppable cling and has slinky draping all the way to your waist.

Slim-fitting, elbow-length sleeves. V at back also. The unlined, 3/4 circle skirt is just right for crinolines and pouf without the volume becoming overwhelming. Circle skirt half slip is available from us at an additional charge.

This heavy cotton fabric -kissed with just a whisper of gold metallic- is woven for us locally to our specifications. It’s as heavy as brocade, rich-looking and genuine. If you’d like to see the fabric “in person, just request a swatch!

We have shown this dress with a matching belt which is not included but can be ordered separately. It has a genuine mother of pearl buckle that we had made for us which is a copy of an antique. Crinoline petticoats are also not included.

This fabric is currently back-ordered. Please contact us for availability.

A beautiful, meticulously made dress in bridal white cotton with a leopard print in the palest gray.

A metallic silver-kissed soft white cotton is used for contrast inside the “wing” and ruched over bust. Dress comes with matching button-in sweetheart halter strap. We’ll send you two- one in each fabric so you can choose which one you prefer. The dress can also be worn strapless.

Our charming Wing Bust style was made after careful study of an original from the 50’s designed by the brilliant Alfred Shaheen. The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust whimsical and dramatic. Waist is dropped a bit to flattering advantage.

Lovely back view is all elastic ruching so there is no zipper to gaze upon, just corset-like channels of vertical boning. Very pretty.

Since this dress is made to go with a crinoline, your crinoline will be the skirt lining, so skirt is unlined. Request a lining (avaible at an extra charge) if you plan to wear anything other than a white crinoline. Bodice is fully lined and firmly constructed from three layers of fabric plus a built-in, boned section under that to give shape to the bust.

Add a pair of colored, couture bows at the base of the halter strap in your wedding colors, or soft grey to match the leopard spots, if you wish.

It’s printed for us in small quantities since it is done by hand, so if you love it please reserve it to avoid disappointment. We have enough of this fabric left for one dress only.

There are customizations you can make to personalize it, including the bows at the bust (not included). Contact us about where to get your period perfect crinoline at a fabulous price.

Our charming Wing Bust style is an homage to an original from the 50’s designed by the brilliant Alfred Shaheen. The lines are ingeniously flattering and the “wings” at the bust dramatic and whimsical. Waist is flatteringly dropped, just a tiny bit. Boned cups and clinging, supportive bodice.

The dress can be worn strapless or the matching sweetheart halter strap that is included.

We’ve photographed the dress with a crinoline that is not included with the dress and we recommend that you order one to go with your dress. The bows shown and other strap colors shown in some photos here are available at a small additional charge as well as in other fabric choices.

Skirt is unlined; fabric is substantial enough to not require a lining as long as you wear a white crinoline unless contrasting colors (Non-nude colored lingerie??) are going to be worn underneath, in which case please let us know and we can install a lining at an additional charge or make other recommendations such as one white crinoline worn under the skirt and another colored crinoline worn under that one.

Cupcake

This is a variation on the Wing Bust style dress with a more distinctly dropped waist and cling at upper hips. CLEAN “hardware-free” back look without zipper in the back and a bit stretchier and more adaptable fit.

Wear the “wings” up or down; wear it strapless or with strap, with matching lace strap or white contrast strap.

Boned cups with lots of stretch so you get the best of three worlds; cling, support and comfort! Wear the skirt with a fluffy, dressy crinoline or without for a less formal look.

This dress has more than 5 yards of lace and is fully lined.

Since this dress really features your waist, we recommend it for a gal who has a tiny waist to show off or else we suggest wearing it with a waist nipper.

PLEASE CHECK THAT YOU MATCH THE SIZE RANGE GIVEN CAREFULLY, USING YOUR TAPE MEASURE! Whirlingturban dresses fit MUCH more precisely than do standard modern dresses! Just email us if unsure!
